Thanks Yaman, but i can't read this thing in the manual,
the thing I'm asking about is if I have a text field in a table, and it was empty in 1 record (or have some data) how much storage in MySQL it would take

TEXT[(M)]

A TEXT column with a maximum length of 65,535 (2^16 - 1) characters.

Beginning with MySQL 4.1, an optional length M can be given. MySQL
will create the column as the smallest TEXT type largest enough to
hold values M characters long.
